Light Fortress-Chapter 1410 - 180: The Netherworld King’s Second Angel Envoy

Chapter 1410: Chapter 180: The Netherworld King’s Second Angel Envoy

The fierce wind extinguished, the forest leaves fluttering in the air.

Zhuang Su hung precariously from a branch about to break, teetering on the edge. The moment he saw Gu Shen appear, the unease in his heart vanished instantly.

There are always some people in this world whose mere presence can provide infinite security.

"Mr. Xiao Gu..."

Zhuang Su’s voice was weak, as he prepared to recount what had just happened.

A wisp of Chi Huo flew out, spiraling into his brow.

"Hiss."

This wisp of flame, carrying the warmth of spring’s revival, branded itself into Zhuang Su’s Spirit Sea.

The "iron transformation" trace spreading across his chest faded rapidly, like ice melting away.

The mark left by the Iron Eater was one that ordinary people couldn’t dissolve.

But Gu Shen possessed the higher-level Iron Throne!

As long as it contained iron properties, he could control it at will!

This "iron mark" was extremely dangerous. If he hadn’t arrived in time...even if the Iron Eater didn’t directly attack, Zhuang Su would have died from the spreading rust disease, his blood vessels turning rusty, his skin growing iron spots, eventually transforming into an "iron man" and suffocating to death.

Zhuang Su felt much relieved.

He arduously climbed the giant tree, leaning against the trunk to rest.

"Mr. Zhuang, no need to worry...sleep, and everything will be fine."

Simultaneously, a gentle voice reached Zhuang Su’s ears.

The fire of life healed his external injuries, and the Iron Throne removed his rust mark...with internal and external wounds gone, all that remained was hypnosis.

Mr. Zhuang did not resist the summoning sound in his Spirit Sea.

"Then...I’ll leave it to you."

He followed the Spiritual Guidance in his heart, slowly closing his eyes, lowering his head, and falling asleep.

Gu Shen’s Pure Land enveloped the giant tree Zhuang Su was on, preventing it from being toppled by the Beast Tide...after finishing all this, he looked at the struggling iron shadow under his hand.

Gu Shen spoke coldly, "Fool, do you know what you’ve done?"

But he wasn’t cursing Shen Li with that "fool."

It was aimed at the Iron Eater.

The latter was stunned.

Immediately, Gu Shen slapped it right on the face!

The "ironized" sable shadow had no intention to dodge, as it wasn’t in a solid state, the Iron Eater condensed into an Iron Walker after reaching the fourth order, resembling elements from other natural systems very closely—

The current Iron Walker appeared somewhat like "elementalization."

It wasn’t afraid of physical attacks from the real world at all!

Yet—

"Smack!"

A crisp slap burst on the Iron Walker’s cheek.

The Iron Walker was sent flying heavily, spiraling dozens of times in midair...before finally managing to stop, clutching its cheek in disbelief, looking at Gu Shen.

It was hit.

And...it hurt a lot.

It let go of its hand, revealing cracks slashing across half of its cheek, this scene driving the just-forming conscious "Iron Walker" to despair and fear...how much power did that seemingly nonchalant slap actually contain?

Not much, actually.

It’s just that the power of the Iron Throne and the Netherworld King Authority was too terrifying.

It couldn’t bear it.

"Someone I have my eyes on, and you dare to ’erode’."

Gu Shen said expressionlessly, "If Shen Li is to ’lose control’ again, you have to hold him back, understood?"

"..."

The Iron Walker was dazed, not responding immediately.

Immediately, Gu Shen delivered another slap!

Smack!

This time, still with the power of the Iron Throne, the seemingly unadorned slap was like a father disciplining a son, leaving no room for the Iron Walker to resist or defy!

The Iron Walker was beaten until it cracked all over, then realized, immediately behaving in the void, prostrating its head in submission.

It couldn’t speak.

But its continuous kowtowing evidently said, "Understood! Understood!"

Only then did Gu Shen withdraw his hand.

He said coldly, "You better really understand...otherwise, I’ll eliminate you anytime."

Saying this.

He lifted the hand pressed on Shen Li’s shoulder.

Countless threads of Chi Huo converged in the void, as Gu Shen eased his suppression, the Iron Eater immediately dissipated, no longer daring to occupy the Little Iron Man’s body.

This kind of "ability" capable of giving birth to its own consciousness is actually very rare—

This is a sign of "high-level" abilities!

Mu Wanqiu’s Judge, Little Xiuzi’s Thunder Realm Walker, their abilities have humanoid mimetic avatars.

With the enhancement of the Extraordinary Realm.

The Judge and Thunder Realm Walker’s wisdom and combat thinking will improve...and the so-called fourth order is actually a great watershed.

What the Fourth-order Transcendents have is no longer just a "Domain Embryo," but a "complete domain" that can connect the real world, the emergence of a "domain" signifies "freedom" for extraordinary abilities.

Thunder Realm Walker can soar to the clouds on its own, fighting separately from its master!

By analogy, the Judge is the same.

As for the Iron Eater, it is actually a level lower than the Judge and Thunder Realm Walker...because not every master of an ability can cultivate an Iron Walker with combat consciousness.

Shen Li, partly due to good luck, and partly due to his own strong capabilities.

If he hadn’t encountered Gu Shen...he would most likely face a tough and brutal choice at the seventh layer of the deep water area, which is how to get through the frequently occurring "gluttonization" cultivation period.

This is a necessary characteristic of the Iron Eater, an issue all Iron Walker masters must face.

Either suppress the Iron Walker by force to protect one’s own spiritual safety—
